• le petit prince — "and now here is my secret, a very simple secret: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to eye."

— "you become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

— "the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart."

— "well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies."

— "People where you live," the little prince said, "grow five thousand roses in one garden... yet they don't find what they're looking for...

They don't find it," I answered.

And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water..."

Of course," I answered.

And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart."

— "If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers..."

— "All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems... But all these stars are silent. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night..You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me... You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh"
